BFP CAMPAIGN: Save the Red Lion

High Wycombe’s iconic and treasured Red Lion has watched over our town for generations, but the crumbling relic has become just a shadow of its former self. Once the backdrop for a famous post-war speech from Winston Churchill, today the Lion has been left to rot.

The Bucks Free Press has launched a fundraising campaign alongside the High Wycombe Society and town furniture maker Frank Hudson - the makers of the original statue.

Once one of High Wycombe’s most treasured landmarks, and forever linked to Winston Churchill’s rousing post- Second World War speech, the Red Lion statue is now a crumbling relic which may soon be lost forever.
